      I think it’s because the others are all so far away that their light is super feint and is not noticeable behind the bright light of the sun..

      Our sun is so bright that it just blocks the light of other stars. That’s also why the sky is blue, the light from the sun is scattered by the nitrogen in our atmosphere
